envy, as 1t was determined that the Mayor
and Council were their legal successors.
This lett twenty-o of the bonds out
standing for redemption. These, as the
record dlscloses, were paid off and
destroyed in July, 1885, when they Tell
due.
Dorsey was Clerk of the Mayor and
Council from November, 1875, TO Jan. l,
1888, and each of the annual reports OF re-
tIriDg MAYORS, and all OF whom got their
figures from the records kept by Dorsey,
show that only twenty-One bonds were
outstanding for redemption when Dorsey
went out of office, and they were all paid
off in July, 1888.
The Mayor and Council held a called
SESSION to investigate the matter, and
when they heard the facts held secret
meeting and ordered Dorsey TO pay over
instanter the $500 thus obtained on The
bonds and coupons, or they would take
legal steps for the recovery of the same.
ID rsey, when notified OF The action,
agreed to dis&orge, and yesterday paid
the full amount back.
The impression is that when A. D..
Gambler surrendered the two bonds to the
city in December 1879, Dorsey, being
clerk at the time, the bonds fell into his
custody, and he has kept them until pre-.
sentatlon to the Mayor.
This view is strengthened from the fact
thai the coupons on the bonds upon which
Dorsey obtained payment correspond eX-
actlv with those surrendered by Col.
Gambler.
Dorsey says the bonds are honest, aud
he viii yet nave pay for them, but his con-
duct In connection with them and the
record against their payment places, in
my opinion, the money long ways ahead
OF him.
Some rich developments are expected,
and the grand jury may yet take an inside
view of the affair.

Dinner-Pail Men.

The man with the tin dinner-pail is
a common sight upon our streets, says
the Rome Sentinel. You see so many
of his class every day, that, per-
haps, you have never given it second
thought. On my way down town the
other morning 1 fell in behind man
with dinner. pail and walked behind
him several blocks. He was on his way
to his daily work. His step was quick
and light and walked with the air of
one buoyant with health and hope. l
fell to ruminating on the usefulness of
this army of men with tin-pails who go
to and return from their workshops day
in and day out the year round, as regular
ly as the sun rises and sets. They are
the bone and sinew of the land, the
foundation stones of the republic, the
keystones of the great arch of American
progress. The merchant, the capitalist,
are useful and necessary components of
the polite, but all are dependent on
the man with the dinner-pail. The
capitalist may have millions at his COM
mand, but his money is of no use to him
unless the wheels of the workshops and
the railroads go round, and they cannot
be kept in motion without the help of
the man with the dinner-pail. The
merchant fills an important place in
every community, but, without the pat
ronage of the man with the dinner pail,
he could not do business long. The
statesman who makes the laws depends
on the vote of the man with the dinner
pail to create him lawmaker. What
power is concentrated in the army of
men who trudge daily between home
and workshop! What a power for
good or evil. Combined under one
banner they defy the world

How to Go to Sleep Soon.

/ had frequently noticed that, when
engaged In deep thought, particularly
at night, there seemed to be something
like compression of the eyelids, the
upper one especially, and the eyes
themselves were apparently turned up
ward, as if looking in that direction,
says a writer in Chambers /0uruaL-
This invariably occurred, and the
moment that, by an effort, arrested
the course of thought, and freed the
mind from the subject with which it
was engaged, the eyes resumed their
natural position and the compression of
the lids ceased.
Now, it occurred to me one night that
1 would not allow the eyes to turn up
ward, but kept them determinedly in
the opposite position, as if looking
down and, having done so for short
time, l found that the mind did not re-
vert to the thoughts with which it had
been occupied, and l soon fell asleep.
l tried the plan again with the same re-
suit; and after an experience of two
years l can truly say that, unless when
something really annoying or worrying
occurred, l have always been able to go
to sleep very shortly after retiring to
rest.
There may occasionally be some diff
ficulty in keeping the eyes in the posi-
tion l have described, but determin-
ed effort to do SO is all that is srequired,
and | am certain that if kept in the
down looking position, it will be found
that composure and sleep will be the
result.

Wound Not the Spirit that Loves
You.

o wound not the spirit that loves thee,
Nor make it feel gloomy and sad,
But, like the sweet angels above thee,
o cheer it and bid it be glad.
A word that is unkindly spoken
Sinks deep in the fountain of tears
A link in Loves chain that is broken,
May change the whole current of years.
The heart that would fondly caress thee
The loving, fond heart of child
Whose prayers are daily to bless thee,
AS God in His providence smiled,
In childish simplicity, never
Renounces the love it emplores,
Nor cheerfully blots out forever
The image and name it adores.
But ever, with constant devotion,
It turns to the bosom it loves,
And leaps with joyful emotion
At every kind look that approves.
Then think not, where trails beset thee,
Thy name the less dearer shall be;
Nor dream that the heart will forget thee
That's cherished with fondness by thee;
For often our hearts-while our faces
Are darkened with sorrow and strife
May yearn for some smiling oasis
Of love in the desert of life.
Then wound not the spirit that loves thee;
Too much of lifes story is sad;
While God in His goodness above thee
Would comfort and bid it be glad.
But scatter the seeds of affection
And kindness wherever you be,
That germs of sweet recollection
May bud in life's garden for thee.
Those buds are not lost; but their flowers,
By minist'ring angels abroad,
Are gathered from earth's fading bowers
To bloom in the garden of God.
Where voices of angels are blended
In song with the voice of the past,
To greet thee when life's tolls are ended
With blessings in heaven at last.

A Model MOther.in-Law.

The -mother-in-law is constantly and
generally most unjustly the subject of
newspaper paragraphers' gibes and weak
jokes. But the St. Louis RebW6AeGn
thinks it is time to effect reform and
starts off with these good words for the
much-abused mother-in-law. Certain
ly we can't have too many mothers-in-
law of the sort described, and happy
should be the sons-in-law of such:
After all, what is mother in-law p
1t is ones wlfe's mother in practice, al
though it may also be ones husbands
mother in theory. Her one crime is
her responsibility for the existence, the
education and the formation of the wife.
A mother-in-law can be an object of
loathing only when she interferes on
behalf of the wife, and if interfer-
ence were not necessary it would
hardly cause as much feeling. But
wise mothers do not even interfere
There is too much diplomacy in
the feminine mind for anything so
apparent. Their purpose is certain
ly the happiness OF the young people,
and if the experience which a longer
life gives means anything, it means the
greater power to avoid mistakes. To
cry out against experience when it does
not jump with ones whim is like cry
ing out against quinine because it is
bitter. Certainly there are as many
foolish old women in the world as there
are foolish young ones, and the wise
man, the sage, should select mother
in-law with as much care as he should
use In selecting wife. There never
was anything truer than the old rhyme
My son is my son till he gets him wife,
But my daughters my daughter the whole Of
her life.
And the wooer should recognize this
truth and govern himself accordingly.
If he chooses wisely, both as to parent
and child, he will be happy as the day
is long, and he will pass on his happi-
ness to another generation and furnish
some other lucky fellow with an equal
ly admirable mother-in- law when his
time comes. Unfortunately, people do
not always do this. They run after
a white fluffy petticoat and a pair of
blue eyes, and are most clamorously
unhappy when they find out what they
have done. VINO does not know fam
lilies where the wife's mother is honored,
lovely and loving unit, strong in her
power for good; tender, gentle and
useful filling all those functions for
which noble womanhood was plann-
ed self-forgetful, self-efacetul, living
as true women love to live-only for
others, happy in their happiness, fond
of the daughter she bore and of the new
son who has come to her with mothers
fondness2 There can be no prettier
domestic picture, nor one which is
oftener true. And when the mother
in-law is changed into the grandmother
there are few who will deny its truth,
for it is manifest for all to see.

why She Doesn't Go to Church.
Washington Capital.

A lady was relating to me the other
day her trials and tribulations in the
matter of arranging the household ma
chinery so the inevitable bitches and
jars of the inner working should not be
apparent to the outside world. In de-
scribing the various idiosyncrasies of
servants which had come under her
notice, she said: "Some years ago I
had a good settled white as a house
servant, who, though of most exemplary
department in every other respect,
seemed to consider Sundaysas in nowise
different from the other days in the
week. Finally said to her: "Han-
nah, why don't you take your Sundays
off? You should take advantage of the
opportunity to go to church." You
can appreciate my feelings when she
replied: "Well, Mrs.-,I used to go
reg lar to church, but l never j'ined.-
My next door neighbor was a shoutin'
member, and 1 tell you what she done
she scalded my dog That's been
twenty years ago, an l amt never went
to church since.
